Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions for treating tissue injuries comprising a tissue-derived substrate and mesenchymal stem cells adhered thereto, as well as methods of making and using such compositions. The tissue-derived substrates include bone, cartilage, and collagen matrix.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of combining mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with an osteochondral allograft. In an embodiment, the method includes obtaining adipose tissue having MSCs with unwanted cells. The tissue is digested to form a cell suspension having MSCs and unwanted cells. The suspension is added to seed the allograft. The MSCs are allowed to attach to the allograft. There is disclosed an allograft product including MSCs with an osteochondral allograft. There is disclosed a method of combining MSCs with decellularized, morselized cartilage. In an embodiment, the method includes obtaining adipose tissue having MSCs with unwanted cells. The tissue is digested to form a cell suspension having MSCs and unwanted cells. The suspension is added to seed the cartilage. The MSCs are allowed to attach to the cartilage to. There is disclosed an allograft product including MSCs with morselized cartilage. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating allografts, having a sonication tank configured to transmit ultrasonic energy to the interior of the tank; a treatment canister rotatably positioned in said sonication tank, and configured to receive allografts therein; and a treatment fluid source in fluid communication with said treatment canister. Methods of treating allografts and methods for determining microbial contamination using the apparatus.

Abstract: An anti-adhesion wound barrier fabricated from amnion obtained from human birth tissue and treated with a glutaraldehyde solution is provided. The amnion is treated in 1% glutaraldehyde solution for up to 15 minutes to fix the amnion. Methods of processing the birth tissue to prepare the amnion for use as a wound barrier are also provided. Use of the amnion anti-adhesion wound barrier for dressing wounds is also described.
